How to Reverse a Track in Mixcraft

Acoustica Mixcraft 5 is a multi-track audio editing and recording program with MIDI capabilities. In this program, you can add effects to your music, record original tracks or manipulate previously recorded tracks. One possible effect is reversing a sound so that it plays backwards. The result will sound like something is being sucked in, and it will end with the sound that you recorded. This can be a useful technique to add some complexity to your music tracks.
